Chris it's you southern folks that talk funny. Jim speaks perfectly well.

Y'all don't know what y'all is talkin bout.


In all seriousness I could hardly detect any sort of MA accent when I spoke with Jim. Of course he was all doped up still since it was right after his surgery so that could have been part of it.

Hmm. I thought the population was larger than that by now.


By the way, I didn't realize how worn my seat cushion was until I put the new one in this past weekend. I think I sit 2" higher in my truck now

I'll see if there is a bumper stop for your head avail. hahaha

glad you got the cover on ok, how does it look compared to Right side.

Get used to it. If you're gonna move to Texas, you'll be hearing this from more people soon. Of course if you think we're bad, wait till you stop by Ricks place. Have him take you around and talk to some of the locals. Those Cajuns will put up with a Texas accent cuz we're neighbors. Put your accent around a bunch of Cajuns and they'll lay their accent on nice and heavy while mixing some French in there. When they don't want me to, I can't understand them, and these are guys that I know.. That means you've got no hope.

They do know how to eat though, so start a diet a few days in advance.

I've talked to Jim a few times. On a conference call there would be no mistaking which one of us was from up North, no matter how doped up Jim was.

I got a full set of OEM replacement seat covers from a conversion company off fleabay for cheap, so all my seats now look brand new. Even have that new car smell to them. There was nothing wrong with the passenger side or back seat, but holding the other ones next to them, I could tell they had faded a little.

I guess I should have asked about what's involved in taking the back seat cover off. I had no idea they used so much velcro. I bought 2 lbs of hog rings to swap out all the seat covers. I think I've got 1 lb 15 ozs of hog rings left over.

You could probably write one and sell it to all the dummies up north, but a foreign (northern) accent is easy to spot down here. Scott's been in Texas how many years, and it didn't take 5 seconds on the phone with him to know he wasn't from Texas. Rich has been in Oklahoma for several years and he still sounds just like you do.

I'd say as long as you don't offer a money back guarantee, your book will do quite well Jim. J-L is till young enough that there's still hope for her though. Just get out your baseball bat and start practicing your swings. Ever heard a southern gal talk? You'll be beating the boys off in just a few years.

"Yous boys" is how the real old timer I used to work for said it. He also said "skidster" instead of "skidsteer" and "chimiley" instead of "chimney" And he'd say Chevolet (pronouncing the T and not saying the R) instead of Chevrolet.

That's a real old time Yankee for ya.

Also, Chris is right about Southern gals and their accents. I melt every morning when I pick up my breakfast from the little store in town, and the gal behind the counter calls me "honey" with that thick drawl......so, so hot.
